“His resignation Alexis Tsipras it was obviously a very crucial development, which creates reflection, searches and questions for its members SYRIZA-PS but also to all citizens”said the president of SYRIZA – PS Socrates Famous to the party’s central committee regarding Mr. Tsipras. Furthermore, he also noted that “I took the initiative and positioned myself clearly from day one. We do not underestimate our common path, nor the political capital of Alexis Tsipras. Even if there are different points of view, the relationship between SYRIZA-PS and Alexis Tsipras cannot be contradictory. What we consider important is the unifying and synthetic progressive way out. And our own proposal includes the strengthening of SYRIZA-PS with the great change and renewal that we have achieved”.

Information states that Mr. Famellos emphasized that the two sides must converge towards a common progressive goal, seeking a “strong progressive pole” towards New Democracy. According to the first information, there was already a disagreement with Pavlos Polakis who insisted on his opinion that Tsipras’ resignation was an act of division.

In detail, the position of Mr. Famellos in relation to Mr. Tsipras in the central committee:

“The resignation of Alexis Tsipras was obviously a very critical development, which creates reflection, searches and questions for the members of SYRIZA-PS but also for all citizens. I took the initiative and positioned myself clearly from day one. We do not underestimate our common path, nor the political capital of Alexis Tsipras. Even if there are different points of view, the relationship between SYRIZA-PS and Alexis Tsipras cannot be contradictory. What we consider important is the unifying and synthetic progressive way out. And our own proposal includes the strengthening of SYRIZA-PS with the great change and renewal that we have achieved.

We believe in the social necessity of SYRIZA-PS. Our party is a modern political organization with its legacy, its program, its values ​​and the work of the ’15-’19 government.

However, a necessary condition for political change is majority social agreement and the participation of citizens in political action. This change cannot be made from above. For this reason, SYRIZA-PS has taken initiatives: We show that we are not all the same. That problems have a comma and a color. That’s what I’ve been getting from the whole community on the tours for the last few weeks.

At the same time, we submit solutions that have a class-based, left-wing sign of social justice. We, as SYRIZA-PS, will feed the social debate and the need for a progressive way out, either programmatically or with the culture of alliances.

To acquire shape, form and content for the progressive cooperation, in which no one is left out. Let SYRIZA-PS be the party that will essentially contribute to the broad unifying initiative of the progressive space and the progressive ballot.

In this direction, I ask you to undertake cooperation and joint action initiatives – as the Central Committee decided – both locally and centrally for the real problems of the people and politics”.
